Annual and bi-annual wellness exams help maintain pet health through early disease detection. Our comprehensive evaluations include physical examinations, blood tests, and fecal exams to establish health baselines and monitor changes over time. Preventive care plans are customized based on age, breed, and lifestyle factors.
Dental Care
Professional dental services prevent oral disease through ultrasonic cleaning and digital X-rays. We address gingivitis, tooth decay, and oral infections while emphasizing home care education. Anesthesia protocols follow AAHA guidelines to ensure patient safety during procedures.
